"Gamers smell bad and dont have time for girls.." - Page 8

Congratulations on reaching this thread. In the rare event that you are in grandmasters league, have a scorching hot girlfriend, and somehow avoided the terrible stench of being a gamer, please refrain from telling us about it. The 10 pages of people informing us that they do, in fact, have sex should provide enough of a counterexample to any non-believers. Thanks in advance for your cooperation. | ||

I dont have anything against WoW or those who play - but there already where quite alot News how (some!!! not all) WoW-addicted live and how they changed within' 5 months. I visited the gamescom this year and you could divide the masses. You could recognize addicted and casuals after watching them for 30 seconds. Every month you can read worse and worse news about a few gamers and how they ruin their lives...ye gamers have a bad reputation in EU. I remember my ol' times, where gamers were the cool kids...Nes, Snes, n64 and playstation. Even the most girliest girls played them alot <3 It's not specifically wow-nerds. Wow just happens to be the mmo of choice now. It used to be EQ nerds. When wow gets replaced this same crowd of people will just move onto whatever replaces it. | ||

Sure stereotypes are based in reality but the people who believe it are ignorant choosing only to focus on the negative stereotypes instead of the big picture of reality. The article doesn't bug me because honestly anybody who believes that I wouldn't want to be associated with anyways. But that's exactly their point! It's because you are a To all the people defending this & other broad generalizations with the reason that they must be somewhat true and based in reality because they wouldn't exist otherwise I want to point out that the line of good taste and of what is moral is crossed whenever a stereotype is consulted over the actual reality of the situation, i.e. when you start to take stereotypes seriously instead of just for what they are: stereotypes, applicable to some, not to others, generally true for a population, but not applicable to any individual up front, unless you want to be superficial. | ||

Now obviously there were exceptions. Some of the guys there were plenty normal looking, some would have their girlfriends swing by with them. Some were married, and some of them didn't seem to give me any shit when they lost to a girl, (though they'd still heckle each other about it). But a lot of the guys there were absolutely everything you hear in that video. Don't even get me started on what the one bathroom there looked like. | ||

I care about how I look. On August 25 2011 03:17 Truedot wrote: because opinions MUST be crushed if they could in any way be offensive to someone? Grow up. For someone being so rude, I'd hope for a more intelligent response. It is offensive. It can't be much else to someone calls themself a, "Gamer." He's not saying that it shouldn't be aired, he's asking what the necessity was for false, prejudice propaganda against a harmless minority. Was there a necessity to insult gamers? A reason? Don't be an asshole. | ||

When wow gets replaced this same crowd of people will just move onto whatever replaces it. Right, but especially WoW just pitched it "evilness" of games in the Society. No doubt that there will follow a much more addicting game with even more bad news in the future. Also: Ego-Shooters are homicidal maniacs...ppl really beleive such bs. My question to you: When someone asks you per MSN(or similar) what you are doing atm(while you are gaming) what do you answer? When someones asks you which hobbies do you have, do you really answer 'gaming'? I lie about the fact that Im a gamer - I dont want to be pushed into the same nutshell as 'the stereotype gamer'. | ||
